YOUR MISSION

You'll work on hybrid perception systems combining classical computer vision with modern deep learning for autonomous spacecraft: building multi-object tracking pipelines that fuse neural network detections with Kalman filtering, developing coordinate transformation chains from pixels to orbital frames, training models on synthetic space imagery, and deploying algorithms onboard under strict compute/power constraints.
Your work enables spacecraft to detect objects against star fields, track multiple targets through occlusions, discriminate threats from decoys, and generate angle measurements for navigation — using both classical geometric methods and learned representations where each approach excels. This is entry-level work blending traditional robotics perception with modern ML. You'll implement Extended Kalman Filters, train neural networks in PyTorch, write C++ flight code, and see your algorithms operate in orbit.

This is a 3 month temporary employment engagement. There is potential to convert to regular employment based on performance and business need.
